So, there is this guy I met about a month and a half ago. We work for the same company, but not in the same department (we hardly ever even run into each other at work). We actually met because we went on a work trip together and spent an entire weekend together. Well, right away it seemed he was definitely going out of his way to get to know me, but I definitely saw it as "just friends". He told me the entire story about his ex-girlfriend and how she screwed him over, which definitely lead me to believe he was only looking for a friend. Well, when the work trip was over, he right away added me a friend on Facebook and we talk constantly on there. He's ALWAYS the first to message me (or to start any conversation at all, texting etc.) and we usually end up talking for hours. He even invited me to hang out one night with him and his friends, and once his friends had left/went to bed, we continued to stay up and talk till 7 in the morning! He even at one point had placed his hand on my leg while we were hanging out (which caused me to panic and believe that we were definitely NOT just friends). Well, nothing had ever come to being more than that and it was about a month ago now. A few weeks ago he told me he had been seeing his ex again, but once again she had dumped him and he said he didn't think he wanted to be with her because he thinks she's "crazy." And lately (the last week or so), he tells me all the time how he was going to invite me to do this or that, but he didn't want to seem creepy. I've told him time and again that it wouldn't be creepy (basically, because I've developed HUGE feelings for him, beyond friendship, and would love to spend time with him in person). Whenever I run into him at work he smiles constantly and teases me about any and everything and he looks me straight in my eyes when I talk to him. The other day he made a comment to me when we were talking on the internet about the fact he thought no one was interested in him. At the time I asked him why he thought that, but now I'm wondering if that wasn't a tactic to see if I was interested or not. He tells me that he gets upset when he doesn't run into me at work or upset that I didn't text him. Basically, I just want to know if you think there could possibly be more here than JUST a friendship. I've started to like this guy a lot and I'm not sure if these are clues he's into me or if just being a REALLY really nice friend.

My opinion:::

from the sound of your story it sounds like he is into you.  Communication is key.  If you want to try to go deeper into this you must talk to him.  Worst case scenario you would get rejected, but i doubt this.  Some guys can be shy in certain ways.  Also perhaps you should be a little more aggressive.  I like aggressive women, but not all guys do.

I'd give it a shot and see where it goes for you 2.  It really sounds like he is into you.

Good luck and please update us and let us know how things go.

someone else may have a different opinion.

Well, I'm not sure exactly how to bring it up, let alone tell him. I guess I'm just not too sure as to what to say.... Huh

OK. So last night we were talking and he told me that he's been sort of seeing his ex again. Then I mentioned how I am always getting hurt by guys and that every guy I ever like, never feels the same way about me and that I was giving up. I told him I felt like there must be something wrong with me. He then told me that there could be so many other factors and he gave me an example. He said that he thought I was a great girl and everything but he couldn't date me because it would not be fair to me at all with all the issues he currently has with his ex. So, now I guess I have to settle with just being friends for now and possibly just keeping my feelings to myself about this.

Sad if he really is hung up on the ex, i'd just stay in the friends zone for now I guess.  I wouldn't want to be #2 on anyones list!

Regardless of whether he's into you or not, the fact is he's also still into his ex.  do you want someone that's just into you? or do you want to share their heart?  that's up to you.
